vCenter Server 6 Setup error – failed to run vcdpromo

During a fresh installation of a vCenter Server 6 on a Windows Server, the Installation stops with an Error during installing some VMware Services. Right in the middle of the installation, the following vcdpromo error message appears.

A restart of the Server or a Cleanup of all old vCenter Installation Folders couldn’t bring this installation up to work. The Error has to be inside the Installation Wizard of the vCenter Server 6.0 – Patch u1b.

The only solution that i found was to install the vCenter Server 6.0 without any Patches or using the newest patched version u2a. As an alternative you could also Install the newest vCenter 6.5, which was release in November 2016.
